Avaaz Community in Brazil Wins a Stunning Victory Against Corruption

Anti Corruption CampaignDear friends,

A massive online campaign by the Avaaz community in Brazil has just won a stunning victory against corruption.

The “clean record” law was a bold proposal that banned any politician convicted of crimes like corruption and money laundering from running for office. With nearly 25% of the Congress under investigation for corruption, most said it would never pass. But after Avaaz launched the largest online campaign in Brazilian history, helping to build a petition of over 2 million signatures, 500,000 online actions, and tens of thousands of phone calls, we won!

Avaaz members fought corrupt congressmen daily as they tried every trick in the book to kill, delay, amend, and weaken the bill, and won the day every time. The bill passed Congress, and already over 330 candidates for office face disqualification!

One Brazilian member wrote to us when the law was passed, saying:

I have never been as proud of the Brazilian people as I am today! Congratulations to all that have signed. Today I feel like an actual citizen with political power. — Silvia (more…)

CTFM board and leaders washing feet of Ps Daniel and his wife MaryseCTFM Board and Leaders cut cake at RUA 10th Anniversary Dear family & friends in Christ,
 
1) In the midst of the whole federal election and all the other critical issues surrounding us in Australia, we thank the Lord that He is increasingly moving by His Holy Spirit and power across our nation!  This is only because Christians, the people of God, are beginning to see the importance of prayer and the amazing effects it has on everyone around you!
 
Last Friday night 6th August marked the 10th Anniversary of RUA (Rise Up Australia) prayer meetings across the nation of Australia and now also in many other nations. This was a glorious day for the RUA family as many of the CTFM Generals have faithfully prayed, supported and stood with Ps Daniel and his family in this God-given mission to take Australia and the Nations for Jesus.
 
There was a real spirit of celebration and rejoicing in the house of the Lord as many gathered on this night to seek the Lord in prayer particularly pertaining to the upcoming federal election. The Spirit of God moved most powerfully as many travailed and wept for Australia’s transformation in prayer to the Lord Almighty.

School chaplains only certain with Abbott as PM

Senator Ron BoswellMedia Release from Senator Ron Boswell, The National Senator for Queensland

2 August 2010

“The only way to be sure of keeping your school chaplain is to elect a Coalition government,” said The Nationals’ Senator Ron Boswell today.  “Tony Abbott is committed to keeping the program going at present funding levels of $165m over three years.”

“Labor on the other hand has reduced funding which is designed to finish in 2011. There are no promises beyond a departmental review.”

“Chaplains play a valuable role in schools, supporting students and school communities by offering pastoral care and guidance.”

“The National School Chaplaincy Program was introduced by the former Coalition Government and enabled schools to employ a part-time school chaplain, with the purpose of providing pastoral care and non-denominational spiritual guidance in schools.”

Senator Boswell said that the program operates in 1,915 schools where the local community has sought to be involved with the program, and enjoys strong support among principals, schools and in the community generally.

The Cordoba Mosque in New York – “A Symbol of the Islamic Conquest of Christian Lands”

By Jacob Thomas

On 18 May, 2010, the Arabic-language online daily Elaph posted an article by an Arab Muslim, in which he decried “The Cordoba Mosque” building project being planned for construction in the vicinity of Ground Zero, in New York City.

Set forth below are excerpts from his article, and from two other articles on this same subject.  My analysis and comments will follow.

The project by Muslims to build a mosque in the United States, close to the place where the 9/11 attack took place, is causing quite a stir. It is worth noting that the name chosen for the mosque is confrontational and provocative. The first Cordoba mosque was built in that Spanish city in the aftermath of the Muslim conquest of Christian Spain. This Islamic “Conquista” was followed by the killings of men, and the enslavement of women, many of whom were carried away to the Arab lands to work as servants and concubines for their Muslim masters.  For both Arabs and Muslims, the history of their conquests remains as a symbol of their past glory, and power. They have no thoughts of remorse or shame, when they recall those heinous crimes that accompanied the colonization of Spain!

Obama’s faith: Christianity or Islam?

Barack ObamaJune 23, 2010 By Pieder Beeli

By his eponymous father and by his Indonesian rearing – where both his school records and the predominant culture was Islamic – Barack Obama has an Islamic heritage.

Yet Obama has publicly professed himself to be a Christian. How do the opposing forces of Islam and Christianity play out in Obama’s mind?

Often we can tell the truth about what someone believes by performing an inferential or forensic analysis. We analyze what is implied rather than what is explicitly stated. This is especially helpful for the case of Obama for whom there are over 150 documented lies.

In light of the Islamic sanction of taqiyya, this sort of analysis could be especially valuable. Taqiyya has its origins in the prophet of Islam who allowed one of his followers to lie in order to kill someone who mocked the prophet.

Central tenet of the faith

When speaking of the origins of Islam, why does Obama use the word “revealed”? In his Cairo speech, Obama said, “I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed”  One does not expect a Christian to suggest that God revealed Islam to Muhammad for the simple reason that if God did such, then Christianity is wrong.

What would the world look like under Shariah law? Find out in Nonie Darwish’s “Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law”

Why would not Obama instead choose to say, “when Islam was invented” or “fabricated – or at least use the more equipoise “when Islam began…”?

I find this especially telling in that I have not been able to find Obama use the term “revealed” to speak of God’s doings in a Judeo-Christian context. For example, I have not heard Obama affirm the central Christian tenet, “The love of God was revealed to us on the cross of Jesus Christ.”

Pastor who survived the Genocide in Rwanda at CTFM this Sun / 6PR Radio interview in Perth / Congratulations to Pastors & Leaders

Dear family & friends in Christ,

It is with great joy we bring to your attention that Pastor David, originally from Rwanda now living in Canada, will be speaking at the CTFM base in Melbourne (Hallam) this Sunday the 8th of August at 6.30pm. This man of God has an amazing testimony of how the Lord miraculously saved him in 1994 when the Hutus massacred the Tutsis in Rwanda, with around 2 million people losing their lives.

Pastor David was formerly a Muslim, but gave his life to Jesus when the Lord miraculously healed him from an incurable disease on his deathbed in the hospital. Then his family wanted to kill him. One of his family members loaded the gun to shoot him, but Jesus appeared and said, “Do not touch My child.” This led to the salvation of the whole Muslim family, Islam to Jesus!

Sadly, a few years later when the massacre took place in Rwanda, Pastor David lost 66 members of his own family, which included his mother, father and all his brothers. Today he says, “Thank God my family accepted Jesus. I know now that I will see them again.”

I am sure you would be greatly blessed by his powerful and very challenging testimony. Do not miss this Sunday night the 8th August at 6.30pm.

Revival fire falls in Rockingham WA as people are radically transformed

Ministering in Rockingham, WA, PerthMinistering in Rockingham, WA, PerthDear family & friends in Christ,

At CTFM the last 2 years have seen the beginning of our dreams come alive in Australia after much prayer and fasting!

For the past 10 years we have been crying out to the Lord in intercessory prayer for His supernatural anointing to be poured out all across this Great South Land to see Australia come back to Jesus through a Holy Ghost Revival of God’s Mighty Miracles, Signs & Wonders!

Well once again the Spirit of God moved most mightily in Rockingham WA (one hour from Perth) in a small church where Pastor Daniel ministered over the past weekend. Every meeting with 70-80 people went on for more than 3 hours with people absolutely soaking in the presence of God, as the Holy Ghost fire and mighty hand of the Lord radically transformed people’s lives!

Some people travelled a long way to get to the revival meetings and were so blessed as the Holy Spirit ministered to every single person through Pas Daniel with words of knowledge, prophecy, healing, and miracles! Many who received the prophetic words were shouting for joy, as they saw the love of God for each person present at the meetings!

One lady testified, “My husband kicked me out of the house and threw the keys in the garden. So I picked the keys up and went off to work. I got back home on Friday night and went to bed. My husband came home late that night. I was not sure what he would do, but praise God he had come to church and got touched by the power of God. Thank you Pastor Daniel my husband is a changed man now and our marriage is restored.” (more…)

A Very Special Invitation To The 10th Anniversary Of RUA Prayer Meetings / Praying For Federal Election 2010

United In Prayer At RUA Meeting

Dear family & friends in Christ,

On this Friday the 6th of August we will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Rise Up Australia national prayer movement which has been rapidly spreading across the land of Australia bringing hundreds of praying Christians from many churches and denominations to their knees to cry unto the Lord for our nation’s transformation!

With more than 60 locations having RUA prayer meetings each month, this interdenominational prayer movement under the leadership of Pr Daniel through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has brought back a culture of fervent prayer to the church, which was desperately lacking.

Pr Daniel stated, “In the year 2000 while I was ministering in Ethiopia, the Lord gave me a strategy to transform Australia through United Prayer, Fasting and Repentance by 2020. I praise God we have now reached the halfway mark and 10 years of corporate prayer has certainly shifted the spiritual climate over Australia. I believe the next 10 years will bring a great harvest into the Kingdom of God.”Australia For Jesus!

I thank God for the many prayer movements in our nation that the Lord is moving through. RUA is a ministry wing of CTFM and has taken a stand to lead the way in corporate repentance for the Body of Christ, to pray in Spirit and in Truth, to breakdown demonic strongholds, and to destroy the works of the enemy, in order for our nation to experience a radical reformation through the manifest glory of God’s presence. I want to see my generation rise up and fulfil God’s prophetic plans for Australia and the nations in preparing the multitudes to meet the Bride Groom King, Jesus our Lord and Saviour, who I believe is coming back very, very soon!”

There will be a very special focus on the Federal Election, as we expect some Christian Candidates standing for election to be present at the meeting.  They will be given the opportunity to share for a few minutes and then we will pray for them and the election.

Moves to Ban Brothels in Australia’s Bible Belt

Gordan Moyesby Teresa Neumann : Jun 30, 2010 : Phil Mercer – BBC

“We have to have a reformation of morality and ethics and unfortunately by legalizing prostitution, it is only another nail in the coffin of decency.”

(Australia)—Although prostitution is by-and-large legal in most of Australia, the BBC reports that efforts are now underway to ban brothels in one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.

Peter Dimbrowsky, mayor of the Hills Shire Council in Sydney, was quoted as saying there is no place for the sex industry in the “Bible Belt” district, home to one of the largest churches in the country.

“While we’ve deliberately made it difficult for them to be successful in this area, we’ve also said that we deserve the right to say no to them if we feel that a sufficient number of people are sufficiently against this type of application,” he said. “You should be able to argue that in this part of Sydney or in any part of a city where it is family-orientated, it may be better for them not to be there at all.”

Colombian Christians Bless New President amid “Great Optimism” Over Nation’s Future

Juan Santosby Teresa Neumann : Jul 7, 2010 : Wesley W. J. Richards – Christian Today

“When someone is waiting with patience God rewards them greatly…I believe this is the Kairos (timing) of God for your life…The hand of God has supported everything you’ve done and will continue to support you. Thank you for not anticipating events, thank you for waiting, because in His time you will receive the reward.”

(Colombia)—The new President of Colombia, Dr. Juan Manual Santos was overwhelmingly elected with the support from one of the world’s fastest growing churches winning 69% of the vote.

As reported in Christian Today, during his campaign Santos attended campaign meetings hosted by Misión Carismática Internacional (MCI), with more than 200,000 members and leaders from the church were also reportedly elected to the Senate, Congress and Andean Parliament for the ‘U’ party, led by Santos.

At an MCI conference earlier this year, Pastor Wes Richards, from King’s Church International in Windsor told Santos: “You helped to give this nation hope in dark moments of despair and when you have faced entrenched evil. We are all very grateful for the contribution you have made to the security of this nation.”

Australian Election – Will God’s shepherds rightly lead His sheep? Pr Daniel

Pastor Danny NalliahDear family & friends in Christ,

The body of Christ and our nation of Australia are at a very critical point in time.

We are facing a pivotal crossroad that will determine our corporate destiny of either exalting God’s righteousness and receiving His favour, or exalting unrighteousness (sin) and receiving His righteous judgment.

In the Church throughout our nation, the sheep desperately need their shepherds to lead from the front, under the authority and direction of the Chief Shepherd Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ. God by His amazing grace has given the Church another prophetic opportunity to see our nation of Australia come back to Jesus through either blessing or persecution. Which do you choose??

In the 2007 Federal Election many were confused as to whether Kevin Rudd was a true Christian or not, but I’m sure time has proven as to what sort of a Christian he was. Firstly, before the election when he refused to directly answer the question by a spectator at the footy finals, “Is Jesus the Son of God?” He replied, “I go to church on Sunday.” 

Then at his very last speech in Parliament as PM, he stated in his closing statement, “I better thank the great God and creator of us all, I thank him – or her – as well.” See http://www.theaustralian.com.au/full-transcript-of-kevin-rudds-farewell-speech/story-fn5vfgwx-1225883796571

How can Mr Rudd not realise that the Lord’s prayer starts with “Our Father who art in heaven” when they pray it every day in Parliament? Or was he actually mocking almighty God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit??  You be the judge. (more…)
